By the sea, I sit alone
No one around
Nothing but the sounds of the ocean waves crashing down
I feel the waves come under my feet
As the night sky approaches, I think to myself
I think about everything
I think about the present
Remember the past
Fear the future
I think about life
My life
Where I came from
Where God is leading me
I think about my friends
All the laughs
All the fun times we shared
How they are moving away
I think about the things I've achieved in my life
And what I've learned
I think about my life
The bad times
The times I wish I was a better person
The days I didn't want to be around
The times that hurt me the most
The lost of blood
The lack of faith
Spirit and hope
The shattering of my heart
The birth of angels
The tears pouring down my face
The angry building inside of me
I think and remember the yesterdays of my life
The days that made me strong
Even when I felt so weak
By the sea, I pray for the future
I pray that I find strength not to fear the future
That God shines light on me and everyone I love
So we can move and have strength through each day
I lay down
The waves roll underneath my body
Moving me away from the sea and towards the steps
They roll over my face
I get up and walk up the stairs
I turn around and look at the sea
I give thanks to God
through all of my thoughts
He spoke to me through the motion and sounds of the waves
I turn around and walk away from the shore
Fearless and with the ability to walk in this world
